YOUTH GROUPS
Mind Body Leadership creates motivated youth leaders with the ability to understand their true purpose and how to build their own self-capacity in the service of others.
Customized learning encompasses physical, mental and emotional practices. A dynamic and interactive program format includes small group discussion and reflection fostering listening, empathy and respect.
The program is focussed on a community-based project, where all participants contribute to a common team goal.

A CASE FOR TRANSFORMATION
Threshold Housing Society needed a leadership development solution that would provide at-risk youth in its Semi-Independent and Supported Independent Living programs with the skills to develop self-sufficiency and contribute to their community, ultimately preventing homelessness.
Mind Body Leadership delivered a customized 2-day program that provided valuable life-skills that enabled participants to be more independent; understand their purpose and thrive with increased capacity and resilience.
“I felt privileged to have had the opportunity to attend this course; I have gained access to ideas that will indefinitely help me in overcoming obstacles, that I had previously struggled with for years; I am hopeful and have an action plan now, thanks to the course.”
